The oversized 0.308-acre lot provides parking for up to 12 vehicles, along with a detached garage that offers additional income potential. The property features 4 self-contained rental units, each with private entrances and outdoor spaces, including a rooftop terrace. The units consist of a 79A Coach House (Large 1 Bedroom Unit @ $1,850/month), Upper Unit ( Vacant 2 Bedroom Unit @ $2,200/month), Basement Apartment (Bachelor Unit @ $1,450/month), and Side Unit (Large 1 Bedroom Unit $1,500/month), generating a total rental income of $7,000 per month ($84,000 annually).

Located in the heart of historic downtown Bowmanville, just blocks from the hospital that will be undergoing an expansion to double its size, this property provides both immediate rental income and long-term growth potential. Clarington itself is a rapidly growing municipality, with major infrastructure projects such as new highways and GO Train stations expected to support further residential, commercial, and industrial expansion. Significant increases in building permit values highlight strong investment and development activity, especially in residential construction. Updated economic development strategies ensure the town is well-positioned to capitalize on future growth.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $380/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 140 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Clarington. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Clarington are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Excellent Flexibility
With 6 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Clarington.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Clarington properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $3,958 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
